If you don't accept, it means you are intentionally hampering your team for no reason. If my work said, "here's your entire year's wages" I'd say yes too. 1 1

I mean, he's not, but getting multiple years worth of pay in one bonus certainly doesn't hurt. Restructuring like this helps team get cap space. They help players by getting their money faster and putting dead money on the books if they get cut. Either way, we certainly want him here a long time and getting cap space certainly doesn't hurt. 1 2

I think it has more to do with the idea that he's not making noise about being the 19th highest paid WR (or whatever the actual number is) while it's happening. 3 3
Conlan58 Posted June 1, 2021 Posted June 1, 2021 7 minutes ago, Boxcar said: They just gave him his entire salary in one go. He didn't sacrifice anything. Not to say Diggs is selfish or anything like that, but in this instance it is actually beneficial to the player. I may be wrong, but I believe signing bonuses would be taxed at a higher rate rather than salary? Either way - restructuring is always a player doing the team a favor in my eyes. This is huge! 3 1 1

I am sure the Bills WILL take care of him going forward.....

This may be one of them. 1
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted June 1, 2021 Posted June 1, 2021 So now we can pay the asking price for Ertz? 🤔 😁

The cap savings is only for this season so not sure it affect Josh or Edmunds, I have to believe we're adding a player or two maybe Ertz or Steven Nelson. 1 1

I could be wrong but I don't imagine they would do this for Allen or Edmunds' extensions b/c those would likely be structured to not change 2021 at all and even lower the 2022 hit (since the high caps will almost certainly be there in '23 and beyond). This might not be for any major moves (although none of Ertz, Nelson, or Sherman would surprise me) and might just be for maneuverablility and for the just-in-case (someone they can't pass on) becomes available today. 2
HappyDays Posted June 1, 2021 Posted June 1, 2021 They wouldn't make this move for no reason, so there must be a signing or trade coming. 2 4
